Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 27, 2024, Viridian Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. The Company also announced in the press release that it had approximately $645.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of January 31, 2024. This amount is preliminary, has not been audited and is subject to change pending completion of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The preliminary results may differ materially from the actual results that will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements when they are completed and publicly disclosed. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary information and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about them.

The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is furnished under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
